Hi B12life

I read the same somewhere else or heard it and can’t recall where.

It might have been in a Dr David Morris video which I posted recently … pretty sure now it was.

It makes sense doesn’t it ?

🤗🤗🤗

nice to see some Australian literature on B12!

From a metabolic perspective, it is correct that a B2 deficiency would disrupt B12 metabolism. The question is of relevance since outright deficiencies in B2 are rarely observed outside of starvation or extreme malnutrition situations.
